Chapter254-Don't Say I Didn't Warn You!
Yes, this scene before them was something they could only imagine in their dreams. Yet now, it unfolded before their very eyes.
At this moment, they felt no joy—only deepening worry and fear.
The actions of the 5-Element God King filled them with unease.
And then, things grew even more terrifying.
With a single gesture from the 5-Element God King, the attack magic arrays from several cities activated simultaneously!
A surge of immense energy shot skyward.
After overnight modifications, the energy released by these magic arrays dispersed into countless particles upon reaching the sky, creating a display of massive fireworks.
The brilliant fireworks lit up the sky, clearly visible even from distant regions.
Each burst of energy radiated a unique charm, lighting up the heavens.
The sight left the gathered god kings utterly stupefied.
After everything they had experienced, they could no longer comprehend the 5-Element God King's intentions.
If he intended to resist, why go to such extravagant lengths?
The energy unleashed by those magic arrays was terrifying enough that even the beast clan's god kings wouldn't dare to guarantee they could withstand a single direct hit.
If such an attack had been unleashed upon the beast clan's army…
They didn't dare imagine the consequences.
But now, the 5-Element God King had turned such a devastating attack into a performance.
Could it be that he truly intended to surrender?
At this stage of the war, both sides understood that surrender was impossible.
Too many lives had already been lost.
For the beast clan especially, the losses were staggering.
The vast number of beast clan warriors had been decimated by the 5-Element City's powerful attack magic arrays, which were devastatingly effective.
Each sweep of their arrays resulted in countless beast clan casualties and injuries.
In contrast, the beast clan's attacks had been utterly ineffective against the city's fortified defenses.
After two years of fighting, the beast clan had suffered the most casualties.
There was no way the beast clan would accept surrender.
The 5-Element God King had to know this.
The alliance of the six god realms and the beast clan had come specifically to destroy him.
Did he naively believe that surrendering would save him?
So, what exactly was the 5-Element God King plotting?
For now, the opposing god kings hesitated, paralyzed by uncertainty.
Meanwhile, the 5-Element God King hesitated briefly.
Just as the performances concluded and he prepared to welcome Daniel, he suddenly heard Daniel's voice.
Daniel had no intention of appearing in person this time. He would act from behind the scenes.
His message was simple: "Feel free to show off. I'll handle the rest. Don't worry."
With this assurance, the 5-Element God King's carefully planned welcome ceremony was slightly marred.
Still, it didn't matter too much.
At least Daniel hadn't waited until he finished his grand speech to drop the news—now that would have been awkward.
Now was his moment to shine!
The 5-Element God King stepped forward, standing at the edge of the red carpet.
Facing the ten god kings before him, he showed no sign of intimidation as he declared:
"Today, I offer you beast clan one final chance: Leave three of your god kings here as slaves to my 5-Element God Realm!"
"If you comply, I may consider letting the rest of you return to your southern territories alive."
"Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive!"
"Don't say I didn't warn you!"
His words were firm, his gaze unyielding as he stood there, a solitary figure.
But inside the city, his words ignited a fiery passion among the people, bringing many to tears.
The words spoken by the 5-Element God King were those they had all held deep in their hearts.
In the face of ten god kings, they dared not voice such sentiments.
The overwhelming presence of ten god kings was suffocating.
But now, hearing the 5-Element God King boldly speak those words filled them with pride and tears of joy.
"God King!"
"Let me fight! Let me stand behind the God King and fight those beasts to the death!"
…
The solitary figure of the 5-Element God King stood defiant, facing the beast clan's million-strong army.
Yet he spoke such bold words, inspiring unshakable resolve in all who heard him.
"Hahaha! 5-Element, it seems you've gone mad! To speak such absurdities."
"Do you not see who stands before you? Ten god kings, a million troops—what gives you the audacity to speak like this?"
The Giant Mountain God King taunted.
The Serpent God King added:
"To think that the one who has held us at bay for two years is nothing but a lunatic! After I kill you, I'll ensure everyone in your city joins you in death!"
The Serpent God King's words were laced with killing intent.
"You ungrateful fools! Since you refuse this chance, then don't blame me for what comes next. Beast clan, how dare you tread on human territory!"
"And you… fellow humans colluding with beasts—unforgivable!"
The 5-Element God King's words struck at every nerve of the ten opposing god kings.
"Today, I, the 5-Element God King, fight for humanity!"
The 5-Element God King declared as his robes billowed dramatically in the wind.
"Fine! Let's see if your strength matches your bold words."
With that, all ten god kings attacked in unison.
And their attacks were deadly, meant to kill.
Their murderous intent surged as they vowed to end the 5-Element God King here and now.
Faced with the combined onslaught of ten god kings, the 5-Element God King was apprehensive.
He didn't know what level of power Daniel could unleash.
If only Daniel were standing beside him now. Then he'd have nothing to fear.
But with Daniel choosing to remain unseen, the 5-Element God King could only trust him.
Despite his inner turmoil, his face remained calm, as though the ten god kings' attacks were of no concern.
Terrifyingly powerful strikes closed in on him.
This was the first time he had faced the combined might of ten god kings.
Even with all his strength, he doubted he could survive this onslaught.
And then, in the next moment—
The 5-Element God King felt a warmth in his hand.
A glowing orb had appeared in his right palm.
Instinctively, he hurled the orb forward.
In an instant, a new sun seemed to rise over the battlefield.
The immense energy surged toward the beast clan's forces, consuming everything in its path.
The overwhelming power engulfed the entire beast clan army before they even had time to react.
The devastating attack swept across the 5-Element God Realm, extending into the southern territories of the beast clan.
The sky itself was consumed by this horrifying energy.
The shockwaves reverberated throughout the God Realm, awakening many hidden entities who began to investigate what had just transpired.
This single attack was far beyond anything the 5-Element God King could have imagined.
He couldn't help but think: if Daniel had unleashed this upon him back when his avatar entered the Crossbridge Realm… he wouldn't have survived.
As for the beast clan forces struck directly by the attack…
The million-strong army was nearly wiped out.
And the god kings?
Their plight was even more pitiful.
They were rendered utterly powerless, like lambs awaiting slaughter.
"Enough. They no longer have the strength to resist. The rest is up to you," Daniel's voice echoed in the 5-Element God King's mind.
